Dental Impression Acquisition Tray

Abstract

The present invention provides a dental impression acquisition tray that includes: a handle; a dental acquisition frame including a first extending from an end of the handle, a second part opposite the first part, and a middle connection part connecting the first part and the second part to each other; a dental acquisition film disposed in a space inside the dental acquisition frame; and a reinforcing member extending along the dental acquisition frame, inserted in the first part and the second part, and exposed to the outside at the middle connection part, in which a plurality of grooves is formed in the first part and the second part.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a dental impression acquisition tray that can acquire accurate dental impression without being damaged by keeping a deformed state, even if it deformed, such as twisting, by the state of the mouth of a dental patient.[0003]Description of the Related Art[0004]In order to make a prosthesis for a dental patient, it is required to acquire a dental impression of the mouth of the patient. A dental impression acquisition tray is an article used in this case.[0005]A dental impression acquisition tray 1 of the related art is composed of handle 2 and a structure 2 connected with one end of the handle 2 and fixing an acquisition membrane 3 containing an impression material. Disposable products are generally used for the handle 2 and structure 4 of the dental impression acquisition tray 1 for the convenience, and plastic materials that are cheap is usually used for the features of disposable products.[...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention proposes a dental impression acquisition tray that can accurately acquire dental impressions without being damaged, even if it deforms, such as twisting, due to the dental patient's mouth condition. The tray's frame is not distorted, allowing for more accurate dental impressions. The frame can naturally deform to fit the teeth arrangement of the patient without being damaged and maintain the deformed shape, regardless of force application. It can also acquire accurate dental impressions even if a patient has unusual teeth arrangement or bites with force. Overall, the present invention ensures a more accurate dental impression.

Problems solved by technology

However, when a dental patient who has a left-right or up-down asymmetric mouth structure bites the dental impression acquisition tray 1 for acquiring dental impression, force is not uniformly applied to the entire tray, for example, a larger force is applied to a predetermined portion of the tray, so the structure 4 is deformed, such as twisting, in many cases.

Further, when some of dental patients have peculiar dental impression, it is impossible to acquire accurate dental impression with the dental impression acquisition tray 1 of the related art.

However, the frame of the dental impression acquisition tray 1 of the related art is made of plastic, so it returns to the original shape and the impression material is additionally deformed in the process of returning, so acquisition accuracy of the impression material is deteriorated.

The plastic dental impression acquisition tray 1 of the related art is damaged due to unbalanced force.
